Pete Smith has published an addenda to the recent book by himself, Joel Orosz and Len Augsburger on the coinage and patterns of 1792. -Editor
Recently published by Ivy Press, 1792: Birth of a Nation's Coinage is the definitive study of the United States regular issue and pattern coinage of 1792. Awarded Book of the Year by the
Numismatic Literary Guild at the 2017 ANA World's Fair of Money, this work is the ultimate reference on all things 1792, integrating historical investigation with in-depth technical analysis of the
coinage.
A primary feature of the work is the extensive pedigree data for every example of 1792 coinage known to the authors, numbering nearly 200 distinct pieces. As with any book of this nature, some
material is not included in the published version for space reasons, and ever-continuing market activity impacts pedigree studies. The authors have thus issued an addenda to the work, updated as of
August 16, 2017, which is available at the Heritage web site and on the Newman Portal.
